The funding proposed by the government of Rodriguez Zapatero also 18.2% lower in areas of particular significance as social benefits, which will involve up to 3,000 million euros less, increasing the structural deficit of the municipalities.
In this sense, aid dependency, telecare, social care, supplemental educational services, social inclusion programs and attention to the immigrant will be significantly reduced its funding to the serious consequences that entails.
The increase in VAT, on the other hand, cause an impoverishment of the investment capacity of municipalities, with a drop of around 12%.
Thus, with the same amount of money, the municipalities pay 12% less than the increase unacceptable services of VAT.
This tax increase discredited by broad economic sectors of society, punish the poorest citizens.
And it will directly: in their purchasing power.
Also indirectly could cause a reduction in services and quality.
Concern
The Mayor of Murcia, Miguel Ángel Cámara, in this situation, reiterates its request to the National Government to reconsider its proposal and provide compensation of 3,000 million euros that reduced the system of financing and tax financing receivables.
In the same line has been pronounced in recent years the Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.
Regarding the City of Murcia, the discount provided by the Government will make a sale that is estimated at around 60 million euros.
Of these, the Session will no longer enter approximately 41 million from the State Investment Fund (in reference to your entry this year) and another 18 million in funding for the chapter assigned taxes.
According to the mayor, the central government should compensate municipal corporations for the damage suffered by the delay of the local finance reform until at least 2011.
In addition, the Chamber added that the municipalities are the most needed at this time and government support, however, return to see sacrificed their projects, despite being the government closest to the neighbors.
This, without forgetting that the consistory assume powers under the Government, especially in social policies.
